Escapar De Mi Lyrics in English Joaquina

“Escapar De Mi” invites us into the mind of Venezuelan singer-songwriter Joaquina as she wrestles with her toughest critic: herself. Over gentle, reflective pop production, she admits to feeling “buena, pero nunca suficientemente buena” and chronicles the spiral of perfectionism that turns simple mornings into uphill battles. Each line peels back another layer of self-doubt, revealing how easy it is to get lost in the noise of other people’s expectations and the constant chatter inside our own heads.

Yet the song is far from bleak. Joaquina’s chorus—“He intentado escapar de mí, pero eso no funciona así”—is an honest epiphany: you cannot outrun your reflection, so the real escape is learning to befriend it. The latter verses shift from anxiety to gentle affirmation, comparing passing worries to a lone cloud that can never hide the whole sky. By the final refrain, she vows to feel like herself again and acknowledges she owes that kindness to no one else but herself. The result is a relatable anthem of self-acceptance that turns vulnerability into quiet strength.
